Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-18 00:00:00 Arch Hidy This goofy little story is actually pretty funny. Pete is a kid who loves pirates, but his mom doesn't love them so much, so she never wants to play pirates with him. Instead, she takes him to see a magician, the Amazing Marco. During audience participation, the Amazing Marco hypnotizes Pete's mom into thinking she's a pirate. But then he gets called away for the impending birth of his child, leaving Pete to have to drag his pirate mom home. The hypnotism is supposed to wear off, but it doesn't, and Pete has to deal with a bellicose pirate who's always trying to steal people's loot. What's a boy to do? I'm not surprised I enjoyed this one as much as I did, since I've liked some of Deborah Underwood's other books. The illustrations work well with the text, too, providing the perfect illustration of the silly pirate mom and her shenanigans. The book ends with a bit of a twist that's somewhat predictable, but that kids will probably like. Overall, it's a strong book for early readers that'll have pirate lovers cracking a smile or two. Quotable moment: Pirate Mom stood in the yard. She wore an eye patch and a pirate head scarf. Pete's parrot sat on her shoulder. Pirate Mom swished a wooden spoon at the mailman. "Arrr!" said Pirate Mom. "Arrr!" said the parrot. "Arrrrrrgh!" said Pete.
